A brutal murder on the streets of Jamaica, Queens
was not only captured on surveillance video,, but
was being watched on a live stream video feed by
officers. The fatal shooting happened at about
12:30 a.m. at the Jamaica Houses in Queens,
according to police. Officers assigned to the NYPD
Video Interactive Patrol Enhancement Response
(VIPER) unit noticed a man collapsing through a
camera feed at the housing project, and called in
officers on the ground, authorities said. Video of
the closed-circuit feed, released Saturday by
police, shows the already-wounded victim running
away from two suspects. After he collapses, the
victim is shot again. The VIPER unit officers were
able to track the suspects using their pan-tilt-
zoom cameras and directed anti-crime officers to
the scene, police said. The officers pulled up to
the scene in an unmarked car seconds after the
shooting, and apprehended the suspects, police
said.
